PRINTED IN JAPAN cfilntrrrhnrtion to family histories in Saco Valley Settlements
Saco Valley is a veritable treasureland of history. Its rich lodes have produced a wealth of American legend and tradition extending back more than 300 years. The picturesque Saco River starts in North Central New Hampshire and winds southeasterly. It passes near Fryeburg, Maine, a beautiful resort area today, but where in 1725, Indians brought to a disastrous end Lovewell's expedition against them. Robert E. Peary, the famous Arctic explorer, li ved in Fryeburg as a boy and surveyed in the area. Saco, i\Iaine, is equally famous. Located at the falls of the Saco River, opposite Biddeford, it was settled in 1631. A legislative and judicial "court." the first in :\Iaine, was held in Saco in 1640. Saco suffered Indian raids in the 17th and 18th centuries, raids and massacres vividly described by G. T. Ridlon, Sr., author of the monumental work, Saco Valley Settlements and Families. Ridlon had personal contact " with relatives whose mothers' slumber had been disturbed by the red man's startling war whoop." T he author talked with men who had vivid recollections of the French War and the fall of Louisburg; his grandfather was acquainted with those who served as scouts against Pequawket Indians. It is only natural, then, that a region so rich in the stuff that Americans cherish should yield noted personages and families. 128 of whom are included in. Ridlon's immense work. This family hi story is reprinted from that work, and is representative of those noted families and sturdy pioneers who were so much in the mainstream of early American history. Fortunate is the individual whose family tree was included in Ridlon's masterwork, "a conservatory of valuable data, rescued from scattered and frai l documents and vanishing traditions of the Saco Valley." The author has bequeathed rare and authentic Americana to the descend ants of those families, who naturally take great pride in their hcritage and in their treasured genealogical heirloom. John Leavitt was the New England head of this family; he came over with the Pilgrims in 16301 and settled at Dorse*er, Mass., where he lived for some time, but fin;ti'y removed to JljQFbtf, w ere his grave is still pointed out. Some descendants early settle m ampton, N. H., and numerous off shoots have become dispersed abroad. Joseph Leavitt, 1 a ta£°ner\{rom old York, was the immediate progenitor of iliose of Buxton nativ1 y. e purchased lands in Narragansett, No. 11 in 17 52 , but we-=- no evidence that he settled in the township. He was, how ever, one of the early mill builders on Little river in 1761. His lands were bestowed upon his three sons, J OSEPH, ~A NJ ~I an d So "li''' The father d. previous to Mar. 28, u.filL. when hts ot er c 1\dren conveyed a share of his grist-mill in Narragansett;-No. 11 to Joseph Leavitt there.

These were buried in the old burying-ground at Pleasant Point, in Buxton. His second wife, to whom m. Oct. 6, 1793, was H annah Deering. H is ( farm was near Union Falls. He sold his share m the two saw-mills, called "Leavitt's mills, " to his brother Joseph in 1791 , and the same year to his son ) ohn half of homestead and buildings. Children follow: 1.
